Chapter 186: First-Person Drama¹, The Thrill of Reunion!

“Grandmother!”

Mu Zhaoyuan dismounted with a look of joy on her face.

Juanjuan curiously looked at the elderly woman leading the group. She was dignified and stern, her hair neatly styled. However, when she looked at Mu Zhaoyuan, her expression softened considerably, becoming kind and gentle.

She was quite different from the grandmothers in Niantao Village.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe, but it was definitely different.

Sensing the little one’s gaze, the Old Madam’s eyes shifted slightly, landing on the child perched on the horse.

The child was delicate and pretty, naturally endearing. Despite wearing coarse clothing, there was an innocence about her. Sitting on the horse, she showed no fear.

It was clear that Little Six was fond of this child; otherwise, she wouldn’t be riding Little Six’s horse.

But why had Little Six brought this child back?

Facing the Old Madam’s scrutiny, Juanjuan wasn’t shy. She flashed a gentle smile, understated yet comforting.

“Come, let sister help you down.”

Mu Zhaoyuan hadn’t forgotten the little one on the horse.

With practiced ease, she lifted Juanjuan down.

Juanjuan turned her head to see her parents and others emerging from the carriage.

Since this was her second brother’s former home, Juanjuan naturally focused more on him.

As they neared the Mu Family estate, Bai Yunxing felt a mix of excitement and anticipation.

But upon seeing his grandmother and the others, a calm settled over him. His head felt a bit dizzy, as if he were dreaming. Everything seemed surreal, as though he had never died and was still Mu Qinyun, the twelfth of the Mu Family.

But when he looked up and saw his sister smiling at him from his cousin’s arms, it was as if she were sharing in his joy at being alive again and returning to Jingcheng.

He took a deep breath.

Indeed.

Now, he was just Bai Yunxing.

“Come, let’s go inside. I’ll introduce you all along the way.”

Holding onto her secret, Mu Zhaoyuan led everyone into the estate, her face bright with anticipation for the upcoming revelations.

As they walked, Mu Zhaoyuan briefly introduced the Bai Family, mentioning Bei Lanfeng without delving into details.

Then she introduced her own family to the Bai Family.

“This is my grandmother. You can call her Old Madam.”

“This is my mother, the main lady² of the house.”

“This is…”

Mu Zhaoyuan paused, casting a playful glance at Bai Yunxing.

“This is my second aunt, the second lady of the house.”

Also the mother of little twelve.

But she didn’t voice that last part, as singling out little twelve would be too deliberate.

Bai Yunxing, teased by his cousin: …

Along the way, everyone got to know each other, chatting as they went.

However, Yun Hui, the second lady of Mu Manor, couldn’t help but keep her gaze on Bai Yunxing.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with this child from the Bai Family.

Even though there was another child beside him who looked almost identical.

But she just felt that this second son of the Bai Family was different.

Inside the Mu Family’s main hall, once the doors closed, Mu Zhaoyuan explained Bei Lanfeng’s situation in detail, though she replaced the Bai Family’s spy with Bai Tian.

Bai Tian had been briefed by his second son on the way, so he handled it smoothly.

The fewer people who knew about Bai Yunxing’s resurrection, the better.

It’s not that they didn’t trust the entire Mu Family, but sometimes secrets are leaked unintentionally.

Mu Zhaoyuan knew that if not for her good fortune, she wouldn’t have known about little twelve’s return from the dead.

Juanjuan stayed quietly by her mother’s side, curiously observing the understated luxury of the main hall.

It was beautiful and grand.

【Tsk tsk tsk… This Mu Family really isn’t as wealthy as the neighbors. Compared to them, I almost feel embarrassed to ask the second for gold and jewels.】

Eldest Brother’s voice of complaint came through.

Juanjuan blinked. Isn’t this considered wealthy?

【Maybe we should rob the rich to help the poor. Let’s find out who lives next door and pay them a visit when we have time.】

【Ahhh! Jingcheng is so dazzlingly rich! It’s torture to be surrounded by Spiritual Energy and not be able to touch it!】

Listening to Eldest Brother’s increasingly frantic voice, Juanjuan fell silent.

If she couldn’t hear his inner thoughts, she would never have believed that her seemingly calm Eldest Brother was like this inside.

“Juanjuan, would you like sister to take you for a walk?”

Mu Zhaoyuan asked.

Juanjuan looked up at her mother, and seeing her nod, she replied, “Okay.”

The clever little one was familiar with the routine, knowing that her mother and the others wanted to discuss secrets without her.

What else could she do?

Children had to cooperate with adults.

Jiang Dai also patted her eldest and third sons, signaling them to go out as well.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t hear, but she didn’t want their time-traveling secret exposed. Otherwise, why leave only two young children to hear the secrets?

“Mother, let’s go. I can’t handle the kids alone. Let’s go together!”

Mu Zhaoyuan called her mother along as well.

Inside, only Jiang Dai and Bai Tian remained with Bai Yunxing, along with the Old Madam and second lady Yun Hui.

Jiang Dai and Bai Tian’s eyes were fixed on their second son.

The moment of reunion was finally here.

Reunion, recognition, and the omniscient perspective—these three together made for the ultimate drama.

Bai Yunxing looked at his parents’ expressions, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

The complex emotions of reuniting with the Mu Family were significantly eased.

Were his parents really not worried that he might choose to stay with the Mu Family instead of returning with them?

Jiang Dai gave her second son a meaningful look, urging him to go.

Bai Tian couldn’t hide his smile, signaling him to hurry up.

Facing his parents’ urging, Bai Yunxing’s lips curved slightly. He looked up at his grandmother and mother.

Under the expectant gazes of Jiang Dai and Bai Tian, he took a step forward.

Sometimes, intuition creates a sense of anticipation.

When only the Bai Family’s second son remained in the room, the second lady’s heart began to race, as if sensing something significant.

As Bai Yunxing walked towards her, she held her breath.

Even the usually composed Old Madam watched the boy intently as he approached.

The child appeared calm, his youthful eyes seemed to hold countless words, as if they were meant to know each other.

Old Madam recalled the mysterious letter, the one from her resurrected twelfth grandson.

Could it be that this child…

Bai Yunxing knelt down, bowing deeply, then looked up with a gentle smile of reunion. “Grandmother, Mother.”

These simple words struck the hearts of the two women like a heavy blow.

“Twelve is back.”

At these words, the second lady’s tears fell instantly.

Old Madam gripped the armrest of her chair, unable to contain her excitement.

Meanwhile, Bai Tian and Jiang Dai couldn’t help but clasp each other’s wrists, thrilled at the successful reunion.

Oh, oh, oh!!!

Tsk, tsk, tsk!!!

First-person drama, absolutely exhilarating.

Twelve is back.

Watch the second son take charge! He’s got this down perfectly!

When it comes to those two, they’re just pretending to be dead. But when the second son shows off, it’s so full of energy!
